Telegram has announced the availability of version 5.10 of its app for Android and iOS. The new update brings a slew of features including silent messages, slow mode, admin titles, video timestamps and thumbnail scrubbing, animated emoji, a new attachment menu on Android, and customisable accent colours on iOS. There is also a comments widget which you can deploy on your websites where people can sign into Telegram to leave comments with text and photos, as well as like, dislike, and reply to comments from others.

With this update, it's easy to send messages without recipients receiving a notification the other end. To do this just hold the send button and press the option to send a message without the notification sound. The recipient will still be notified but their phone won't make a noise. This is a great option when you want to message someone who may be sleeping or attending a meeting. You can also send these silent messages in group chats.
